Implementation Reference

  • src/index.ts:911-926 (registration)
    Registration of the 'whmcs_module_create' tool with the MCP server. Defines input schema (accountid required) and delegates to whmcsClient.moduleCreate().
    server.registerTool(
        'whmcs_module_create',
        {
            title: 'Module Create',
            description: 'Create/provision a service account',
            inputSchema: {
                accountid: z.number().describe('Service ID'),
            },
        },
        async (params) => {
            const result = await whmcsClient.moduleCreate(params);
            return {
                content: [{ type: 'text', text: JSON.stringify(result, null, 2) }],
            };
        }
    );
  • The actual API handler method that calls the WHMCS 'ModuleCreate' API endpoint via the generic call() method to create/provision a service account.
    async moduleCreate(params: { accountid: number }) {
        return this.call<WhmcsApiResponse>('ModuleCreate', params);
    }
  • Input schema for whmcs_module_create: requires a single 'accountid' (number) field representing the Service ID.
        inputSchema: {
            accountid: z.number().describe('Service ID'),
        },
    },
  • Core generic helper method that all API calls (including ModuleCreate) use. Handles authentication, parameter flattening, HTTP POST request, and response parsing.
    async call<T extends WhmcsApiResponse>(action: string, params: Record<string, unknown> = {}): Promise<T> {
        const url = `${this.config.apiUrl.replace(/\/$/, '')}/includes/api.php`;
        
        const postData: Record<string, string> = {
            identifier: this.config.apiIdentifier,
            secret: this.config.apiSecret,
            action: action,
            responsetype: 'json',
            ...this.flattenParams(params)
        };
    
        if (this.config.accessKey) {
            postData.accesskey = this.config.accessKey;
        }
    
        const response = await fetch(url, {
            method: 'POST',
            headers: {
                'Content-Type': 'application/x-www-form-urlencoded',
            },
            body: new URLSearchParams(postData).toString(),
        });
    
        if (!response.ok) {
            throw new Error(`WHMCS API request failed: ${response.status} ${response.statusText}`);
        }
    
        const data = await response.json() as T;
        
        if (data.result === 'error') {
            throw new Error(`WHMCS API error: ${data.message || 'Unknown error'}`);
        }
    
        return data;
    }
Behavior2/5

Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?

No annotations are provided, and the description only states the action (create/provision) without disclosing side effects, authentication needs, or whether the operation is reversible. Minimal behavioral context beyond the verb.

Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.

Conciseness4/5

Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?

The description is a single, clear sentence with no extraneous words. It is efficient but could benefit from slight expansion for clarity.

Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.

Completeness2/5

Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?

Given the tool's single parameter and no output schema, the description is too terse. It lacks explanation of what 'provision' entails, any side effects, or how it fits with other WHMCS module tools. An agent may need additional domain knowledge.

Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.

Parameters3/5

Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?

Input schema has 100% description coverage for the single parameter 'accountid' (described as 'Service ID'). The description adds no additional meaning beyond the schema, so baseline 3 is appropriate.

Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

Purpose4/5

Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

The description 'Create/provision a service account' clearly indicates a write operation (create/provision) on a specific resource (service account). It distinguishes from sibling module actions like suspend, terminate, and unsuspend. However, it does not specify what constitutes a 'service account' in WHMCS context.

Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.

Usage Guidelines2/5

Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?

No guidance provided on when to use this tool versus alternatives such as whmcs_add_client or other module creation tools. The description does not mention prerequisites or use cases.

Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
